Lodger refusing to do share of cleaning

Which means little really, they could not of understood or felt forced to accept the terms.
Thats like saying if I write a piece of paper that says I own your soul and you sign it you have to do so(even if you didnt believe in souls or thought it was a joke)
sorry but that's balls.
if the lodger agreed to the conditions (not particularly arduous or unreasonable t&cs really) then he should abide by them.0 -
I take it back. I misread. sorry.
Indeed. Though the ''mimum" does not actually need stating.
What would be unfair would be making the lodger give 1 month (to guaratee you have time to find a replacement) whilst specifying only 1 weeks notice by the landlord (in both cases 'at least' being legally implicit).
No excuse except I speed-read and saw what I expected to see, not what was written. :silenced:
I have just found a new lodger. His previous landlord not only insisted on a full month's notice but would only allow him to leave at the end of a calendar month. My room wasn't available until Nov 8th but he had to find a friend to stay with for the week in between. He almost had to pay for storage for that week but I took sympathy on him and let him move some of his luggage to my place in advance.0 -
He's not misunderstood and he's not been forced. He's just too lazy to do any cleaning.0
